Oriali on Mazzola, National Team Challenges, and Juventus Stadium Incident
Gabriele Oriali has returned as team manager for the Italian National Team under Roberto Mancini's new tenure. Speaking with Rai 2, Oriali acknowledged the team faces a difficult period. He emphasized the need for the players and staff to be aware of the situation, share responsibility, show respect, and maintain discipline to rebuild team spirit and achieve results.
Oriali also paid tribute to the recently deceased Sandro Mazzola, an Inter legend. He recalled Mazzola's welcoming nature during his early days at Inter and their seven seasons playing together. Oriali shared a personal anecdote about Mazzola driving him home, highlighting their close proximity and the warm reception he received. He spoke of only having fond memories of Mazzola as a teammate, person, and even as a director who brought Ronaldo to Italy.
Reflecting on the incident at the Allianz Stadium during the minute of silence for Mazzola, before the Juventus vs. Atalanta match, Oriali expressed deep shame. He described the image of Juventus ultras turning their backs as "not a good image" and hoped for the identification and exclusion of those responsible from stadiums. Oriali stated that such actions are deplorable and detracted from the memory of champions who transcend club loyalties.
